Comments about Mexico Cooks!

  • Praise for Mexico Cooks!
    Cristina Potters is the ultimate tour guide. She knows Mexico and its traditions, food and artesanías like no other. And she makes it so much fun. Take a trip with her. You will LOVE it! --Cathy Fetka, Jalisco, Mexico
  • Praise for Mexico Cooks!
    We will never forget the tour of Michoacan you took us on. It was, and still is one of our most cherished memories of our life's travels to over 43 countries so far. Unbelievable! Amazing! Professionalism beyond compare, oh and your encyclopedic knowledge of Mexican history and culture is truly amazing. Love, Love, Love your tours! --Larry Orinovsky, Tucson, Arizona
  • Praise for Mexico Cooks!
    Cristina Potters is for me the single most important person for inspiring love for and appreciation of México. Her food blog is justly one of the most famous and revered in the world but her influence extends way beyond that. She has spent decades tirelessly educating other expats and her ability to move seamlessly between cultures and to help any visitor to or resident of México appreciate and respect their good fortune is remarkable. And when it comes to speaking truth to power or defending the powerless you’ll never find a fiercer friend. All of which is to say if you enjoyed this post please spend hours reading her writing. She is a treasure. --Kevin Knox, Tucson, Arizona

  • Praise from Susana Trilling, Seasons of My Heart
    "It was inspiring to be around all your knowledge and network of wonderful people that you got together to show us the magic of Michoacán! I can see why you love it so much. Not only is it physically beautiful but the spirit of the people is engaging and contagious. We left feeling so well received and in awe of the talent of Michoacanos, and we felt that we learned so much! ! Everyone at the school was impressed by the dulces [candies] and the artesanías [arts and crafts] we brought back. If it hadn't been for you, we never could have seen and done so much...You are incredible!"...Susana Trilling, Seasons of My Heart, Oaxaca.

My mother's beautiful Michoacan! I truly think it's time..." Ollie Malca

OH! Do those chiles look delicious!

Thanks so much for the recipe. It's definitely something I'm going to have to try out...if I can find chiles chilaca here in Guadalajara. So many places have only the usual suspects. :(

Steven Miller

Wow, great photo of the wee ballet folklórico kids. Very nice! - Steve, from Ajijic

limelate

Oh yummy! Green chilacas began showing up here (N Ca) about a year ago which made me happy as they are probably my favorite. Your photos, as usual, are great. Lately I've been fooling around a lot with stuffed dried chiles of all types (toasted, seeded, marinated, stuffed) and these look amazing. Gonna try, right now.
Thanks Cristina, a beautiful work,
Limelate

gloria

Wow, those chiles are definitely my cup of tea. I have to backtrack and read the recipe, but wow, the color is beautiful. Thank you.

Bob Mrotek

Cristina,
This is a great post! You have a wonderful way of explaining things with both words and colors. I was halfway through reading the recipe and I decided that I must try it. I showed it to my wife and she agreed. I will let you know how it turned out. Right now I must go to the market for my flor de calabaza :)
